Casting Quotes

I definitely believe in type casting. If you’re a girl with bleach-blonde hair, everyone automatically thinks ‘prom queen, cheerleader.’ It just happens Picture Quote #1

I remember once being told by a casting person, years ago, that I shouldn’t pursue a career in the business because of the color of my skin. The fact that I remember it today means it stuck with me. I thought that was really stupid advice and advice nobody should ever give someone Picture Quote #1

Be that kind of girl who smiles when you walk past other girls instead of casting a dirty look. Don’t buy into the notion of female competition that society so heavily promotes Picture Quote #1

Whether you are buying a car or casting a ballot, choosing a job or planning a family, follow your moral compass. Don’t let others define you.

I think they’re selling their audience short Picture Quote #1

Casting directors I don’t think are the best in Mexico at street casting. Whereas, I think, in New York and in L.A., that’s more common; not so in Mexico. So it’s up to you as a director in a lot of ways to go out and do that Picture Quote #1

I would love to do a talk show. Naturally, I would love to do more films. I’d love to be able to see casting directors more willing to put in a character who happens to be deaf.
